Ten days after having the laparoscopy i was still feeling sore, anxious and very run down so i went to the doctors I mentioned that i was having bad pains when i went for a wee. She checked it and turned out i had a urine infection and a high temperature, so i was put on antibiotics and on top of that i was suffering bad with my anxiety and also had a cold which was affecting my ears.
fourteen days after having the laparoscopy i went to the treatment room to get my stitches taking out, the ones in my groin area came out fine but i still have a stitch in my belly button as she couldn't take it out as i had a scab growing over it (lovely) when i had finished getting my stitches out i went across to the doctors to see if they could check my urine again as i was still getting pains when i went for a wee. well i tried and tried and would my wee come out? no it bloody well wouldn't and this is coming from a women who usually has to wee every five minutes lol. Anyway she checked my temperature and checked my stomach and everything was ok.
Also i had come on my period, the first day was painful and was heavy but normal for me then day 2 of my period i really got a fright as when i went to the bathroom i had never seen so much blood and clots in my life. which ended in me having a panic attack after that night i didn't bleed much which was odd as normally my period last seven days and heavy all the way through and this time it only lasted about 5 days.
I am so glad i had the laparoscopy done as i have suspected for so long that something wasn't right. i have been thinking back to the amount of times i have been to the doctors and been told what i was feeling was normal. the more i think about it though all the signs are there. constantly needing a wee, brown blood between cycles, constant bloating, nearly passing out with the pain, sharp pain in right side lasting a few days around ovulation, acne flare ups which i had treated at hospital with tablets and cream. also about 4 years ago a large piece of tissue came away from me i noticed it in my underwear i took it to the doctors and he told me he had never seen anything like it before he sent it away to be tested and it turned out to be a piece of the lining of the womb.
Being diagnosed with endometriosis and a blocked fallopian tube is tough to deal with but i realise it could of been a whole lot worse having done lots of research on the internet. there is still lots of questions i have about this horrible disease which i will put to my consultant when i go for my follow up appointment in november. I just hope this horrible disease hasn't took away my chances of becoming a mummy as some days i get this sinking feeling and feel like giving up but then i remember how far i have come and hopefully one day soon all of this will be worth it.
Thank you for reading this post on our journey
